Great layout jig for dowels. I think gluing an edge piece (L shaped) makes this much gooder. Since you already cut a piece using your box. Always aligns the jig to the top of the apron, and makes it easy to have the same reveal. Alternatively, you can flip the L edge upwards, and still use it in the middle of a piece, visually planning where you need the dowels. Also, you can make the clear acrylic wider, allowing you to etch two lines. One 1/8” and another 1/4” from the edge of the apron, and paint the etch black with a marker. Now you have a dowel and reveal jig all in one. Easily mark the reveal on the legs portion. I don’t have a dowel max thingamabob, yet, making this layout watchamacallit, I can then use my drill straight edge guide, and put holes where I want them to my ❤️ heart’s content. Always fun thinking 🤔 out of the box. Cheers
I think i'm using dye😂 good thing i saw this video before finishing my desk. I was struggling with wiping my dye off thinking why isn't it staining?! Good thing i figured out how fast the dye was drying. Put on three or four layers in less than 2 hours😅
No! Don’t throw away your old miter gauge. Just repurpose it to the router table where you leave it at 90 degrees. Use blue tape if the old gauge doesn’t have adjustment to the width of the 3/4” bar.
I don't think they make his anymore. And I can't find one that has multiple magnets. I'm thinking of just buying one, and if I need side magnets, I'll just buy the adhesive magnetic strips and attach them to the other three sides. Think that'll work?
I use an aluminium runner. The fit was too tight, so I sanded the aluminium until it slides smoothly and effortlessly. I stuck them with hot glue and fastened them with counter sunk screws, through pre-drilled holes.
I just bought a dinosaur sawzaw it's a craftsman 6.2 amp and it's got the Sears logo on it and it's corded and MAN is that thing a BEAST I got it for 15 bucks plus the craftsman case it goes with at a antique/flea market what a treasure the Lord blessed me with it already changed the landscape of my home already I used it to get some funky business this mass of trees was doing on my fence cut out fast i had been digging and manually sawing roots and the stuff that grew into the fence like literally a whole tree grew in such a way where it literally had the fence perfectly running through the exact middle of the tree for like a year and got a lot done but over a large span of time ...in less than one hour it did more than what i could to going atmit the way i had been doing it get a sawzaw even if it's just going to collect dust you will find something to use it for
The main problem with most biscuit jointers is imperfect parallel alignment between the fence and the blade resulting in a slot cut at an angle. At that point you are screwed.
That's a great looking table Colin! Love it. I was thinking of using Osmo Desking-Oil on an outside potting table I just finished. It's made out of redwood. What do you think? OK to use on redwood?
Stunning table, Colin! Amazing work!!! 😃 I thought you were going to put the legs in the other side,but then it would hide the beautiful live edge... You definitely did the right thing! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
One is never too old to be doing woodworking. I turn eighty next month and wouldn’t dream of giving it up as long as I am physically and mentally able to do so.
Good day Colin, Referring to spalted wood, I was gifted some 3 year old fallen Birch logs that had been cut by my neighbour. When I had them sliced into planks there was a lot of spalting within. For your info, there were many shades of grey and black, with some white, but the most interesting was that there were also several shades of green. I will be trying to duplicate this, but I will try it in a natural environment. I’ll keep you posted.
The black CA Glue kills the look of the table. I would have used a clear CA. OR a wood glue and saw dust for filler. wood glue alone would work but not black CA.
Wow, it's almost as if you have different tastes. How terrible would it be if you decided to tell Colin that your way is the best way and his way is bad?
I am with you on this one. Colin can do whatever he wants as it is his wood and his show. I would have done something other than the black. But that’s just me.
wow, anyone who pulls those handles down onto the work piece without clamping or at the absolute very least holding or pinching said piece.....is a real dum dum.....I can't imagine a world that this would be considered safe in my mind.......with that being said, have you ever used any sort of abrasive blasting machine? or phew idno TNT or Dynamite?! there are much more dangerous tools out there. but when used as directed, you should be fine....this tool, I would say, lies in the category of "common sense" but I suppose there are always dum dums out there who will always try their worst! or maybe best? depends on how you look at it. hahah cheers.
Thanks for the video ... had inherited some of this stuff after my father passed away, a lifelong woodworking hobbyist, and I had only ever used it to stop some speakers from vibrating themselves off some corner shelves. I am sure my father used a lot of this on his table lamps and other projects ... nice to know I can use it on some jigs I am making, to stop the wood from moving when cutting with a jigsaw or an old black & decker I own, that has an adapter to turn it into a table saw.
I've used the insulating plumbing for other things. One is for the arms on the patio chairs which are metal. The foam makes them more comfortable and don't get hot or cold. Good idea to use it on the pipe clamps. Thanks for the tip. I also like the I-beam idea.
